Dynamo Kyiv head coach Oleksandr Shovkovskyi commented on the draw with Rukh (0-0) in the match of the 7th round of the Ukrainian championship on the broadcast.
Oleksandr Shovkovskyi (photo: Oksana Vasylieva)- First of all, I want to say that the spectators enjoyed today's game. There were chances at both gates, bars, crossbars, disallowed goals - the game was played in one breath. Of course, a draw is not the result we were hoping for, but in this case we must remember that in our current schedule there is no opportunity to work on anything, only recovery and some certain adjustments. Yes, we have lost two points, but we have only played six more matches - everything is ahead.
- Perhaps the result was also influenced by the lineup rotation?
- You know, we can't play with 12 or 15 players, especially since 16 of our players were involved in the national teams. We also need to rest. So tomorrow we have a full day off for everyone, and on Monday the team will start preparing for the next game.
- Dynamo had its moments. Did the realization fail again?
- You see a problem, but I see opportunities, and this is completely different.
- What is the condition of Voloshin and Popov, who were in the stands?
- Unfortunately, there are some problems, again, because of the schedule we have. Popov, I think, will start working with us a little bit, in light mode, on Tuesday. As for Voloshyn and Mykhailenko, they will not prepare for the match against Lazio for sure.
- A pair of centerbacks - Ceballos and Mykhavko. How satisfied are you with their interaction?
- I want to say that all the guys gave their best on the pitch today. There were moments that we will emphasize when analyzing this match, because the decision-making was not at all what we expected. And I can't make any complaints to anyone if I wish. I thank everyone. Glory to Ukraine! Good night to everyone.
